So I would very much appreciate if you could explain in thorough
technical detail and functionality how this works and how it
addresses the problems (I see) this specific issue raises, or at
least show how you would address this issue in functional
specifications.
In thorough technical detail and functionality? Functional
specifications? Why do you have to make this issue sound so inflatedly
complex?
Taking Internet Explorer as an example, at the moment you have access,
under Tools > Internet Options... > General > Accessibility, to three
checkboxes: ignore colors specified on Web pages; ignore font styles
specified on Web pages; ignore font sizes specified on Webpage. My
proposal: why not add a further one "ignore form control styles
specified on Web pages"? Technically, the browser should then simply
ignore any author defined styling of form controls.
There...sorry if it's not in functional spec or technical detail...
P
Okay, so if this was implemented in user agents, what would be your
educated estimate of percentage of users who would configure this and
therefore avoid this problem of interpreting the incorrect state of form
controls?
